Can kidney transplant patients use elliptical machine?

Yes: Transplant patients are encouraged to exercise. The only caution would be in activities in which there could be direct trauma to the allograft, like from a kick or punch.

Yes: Once you are cleared by your transplant surgeon/physician to exercise, an elliptical machine is a great way to improve your cardiovascular function.
